After revealing to Klinder that there would soon be a riot in Africa against Britain, as a good friend, adding that he really needed German naval technology, Liu Jun decided to throw out something, that is, let German shipyards build a battleship and an armored cruiser for themselves.

Japan now had two battleships, plus the contract now signed with Great Britain. That's five battleships from now on. Seven or eight armored cruisers, at that time, the battleships of the Combined Fleet will surpass the Beiyang, and the armored cruisers will be on par with the Beiyang naval divisions, which is very bad news for themselves.

Although they have secret weapon submarines, but if the number of surface ships does not increase, then they will be suppressed by the combined fleet in a decisive battle, which is not what they want to see.

Japan, in its own eyes, is not to be worried, the real opponent of the North Sea, is still Russia's Pacific Fleet.

Liu Jun has always been haunted by Tsarist Russia's forcible annexation of more than one million lands in the northeast and northwest in later generations, not to mention that now at this time, he has already decided in his heart that in the future, after the affairs of Japan and China are resolved, even if he fights with Tsarist Russia, he will have to recover the land occupied by Russia.

"Old Ke, give you German Emperor a breath, I intend to order a battleship and an armored cruiser from you." The huge pie smashed over Clinde's head at once.

The construction of warships, for any country, is a high income, not to mention battleships and armored cruisers, these torpedo boats that do not sleep are not torpedo cruisers, but behemoths, which cannot be built without a few million taels of silver.

"Liu, your Beiyang Fleet has now become the No. 1 fleet in the Far East, why do you still need to build it?" Clint wondered about the temperature.

What the hell, Lao Tzu Jianjian cares about your, ****, I don't know your little Jiujiu yet.

Germany and Britain are not good things, and they are afraid that their strength will be too great and affect Germany's interests in the Far East, so he does not understand that Germany does not have a single fart in the Far East, and he will be impressed.

Thinking so in his heart, Liu Jun rolled his eyes a few times and said, "Lao Ke, I'm not here for your Germany's good?" ”

This completely made Klinder puzzled, building a warship for Liu Jun, which was for the good of Germany, and this started with He.

Seeing Clinde's doubts, Liu Jun slowly began to explain.

In recent years, although Germany's surface ships have increased as much as water, it has caused panic in Britain, and now, in order to fight to the death, almost one German warship has been launched, and Britain has one, anyway, Britain's attitude is, if you build it, I will build it, and I will spend more money than you. There are more fleets than you.

Liu Jun valued one thing, that is, under the guise of building warships for the Beiyang Naval Division and the Guangdong Naval Division, he also built it for Germany. After all, once Britain knew that it was building warships for Liaodong and the Qing Kingdom, it would not go crazy, and at that time, even if it was the last to know, it would regret it.

"Liu, is your plan feasible, if Britain knows the temptation of ......' plan, which makes Klint very excited, but he also knows that once these things are not kept secret, then it will cause a bad impact on the international community.

"I do things, you can rest assured." Liu Jun slapped his chest with a bang.

Rest assured, Klinder is very relieved in this regard, smiling slightly, Klinder stretched out his hand: "Long live the friendship between Liaodong and Germany." ”

That is necessary, Liu Jun, who succeeded in the conspiracy, also stretched out his hand. The two of them laughed.

A month later, the German shipyard announced the construction of a battleship and an armored cruiser for the Liaobei Ocean Fleet, and at the same time, Li Hanzhang, the governor of Liangguang, also ordered three battleships and two armored cruisers in Germany according to Liu Jun's order.

There is indeed no mistake in the order of the Beiyang Naval Division in Germany, but on the part of the Guangdong Naval Division, there is a problem, the Guangdong Naval Division is building in Germany, only one armored cruiser and one battleship, as for the other two battleships, Germany built them for itself, and the reason why this is done is only to get rid of Britain and confuse Japan.

The Guangdong Naval Division is still ostensibly part of the imperial court's establishment, so the Guangdong Naval Division's manufacture of warships will cause a message to Japan, that is, this has no effect on the Beiyang Naval Division, and it is just a policy implemented by the imperial court in order to strengthen coastal defense and remove the threat of the current Beiyang and Fujian naval divisions.

The result must be like this, after Japan went to the Guangdong Navy Division to order battleships and armored cruisers in Germany, Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi did not pay enough attention, but celebrated with his cabinet members at the Prime Minister's Office, and in their view, the Qing Dynasty's Guangdong Navy Division built warships, which was a signal, a signal that the Qing State would go to war with Liaodong.

After Britain got so many orders from Germany, it initially thought that this was a conspiracy between Germany and Liaodong, but after several investigations, they found that although Germany had so many orders, it did seem to be early with Qing Guo and Liu Jun, and neither side looked down on anyone, and even fought in the shipyard, the imperial court and Liaodong personnel face to face. The head was hit and the blood flowed.

Everything was calm, after the imperial court passed a battle of Fuzhou and was once again defeated in the hands of Liu Jun, it did not make any momentum to attack Liaodong, and Japan, as if Liu Kai was suddenly away from Liaodong's eyes, concentrated on developing its own economy and developing its own navy.

Gradually, the clock ticked to July 13, 1902.

In the past two years, almost nothing has happened in the world, except for the war of words between Britain and Germany over African affairs, the rest is what Liu Jun wants to see the most, that is, Russia and Japan are fighting fiercely in the waters off Sakhalin because of the ownership of the southern part of Sakhalin. Just two months ago, Japan's Combined Fleet and the Pacific Fleet on Sakhalin Island did not like each other on the sea, and with the tacit consent of the commanders of both sides and the fact that neither country knew about it, the fleets of the two major countries suddenly fought in full swing on the sea, and finally, after Japan lost two cruisers, a destroyer, and several gunboats, and Tsarist Russia lost three cruisers and two tugboats, the dramatic battle ended, and the two sides began to negotiate again.

In the country, in the past two years, the imperial court has been iron-hearted and does not contradict Liu Jun, and the two sides are in their respective territories, each managing their own, and in April, Cixi could not withstand the pressure of the ministers of the court, and officially handed over all the rights in her hands to Guangxu. And she herself moved to the Summer Palace and began to feel at ease, but all this is a superficial phenomenon, according to the intelligence of Liaodong, major matters still need to be approved by the Summer Palace and then processed.

In terms of Zhili, Li Hongzhang had already handed over all the work to Yang Shixiang in July 1901 because of physical reasons, and he really replaced the title of governor of Zhili, and came to Lushun in August under the escort of the armored cruiser Ruojing of the Beiyang Naval Division.

And Yang Shixiang is indeed powerful, after taking over Li Hongzhang's affairs, he will be in good order. Economically, Liu Jun's reforms in eastern Liaoning were also implemented, and after unilaterally carrying out trade regulations with other countries, Tianjin, Yantai, Dagukou and other coastal areas were opened up to attract foreign investment, thereby increasing the economy of the Zhili region.

Because Zhili has been surrendered, Liu Jun was not polite, he directly transferred Feng Guozhang, who was originally guarded in Heilongjiang to prevent Tsarist Russia, from Heilongjiang, and then went to Zhili Tianjin, fully responsible for the military of the Zhili area, and Heilongjiang, Liu Jun boldly appointed Zhang Zuolin, the former commander of the 14th Brigade, as the commander of the Second Corps of Heilongjiang, and was fully responsible for the defense of Heilongjiang.

In two years, in two years, Liaodong's economy has once again taken a leap forward. The complete end of the Northeast Reclamation was announced, and the Northeast Grain Base was officially completed, and Outer Mongolia, under the governance of Yuan Shikai and Wang Shizhen, has now become the production area of military horses and fur trade in Liaodong.

In Fujian, because of Liu Jun's order in the past two years, the Fuzhou Shipyard has made every effort to build the Fujian Naval Division after the end of the Tianzi plan, and so far the Fujian Naval Division has a fleet of two armored cruisers, five torpedo cruisers and eleven torpedo boats, which far exceeds the original Fujian Naval Division.

Guangdong Naval Division, because there is no war at present, is still Jiyuan Pingyuan and other warships to support the façade.

With a squeak, Liu Jun, who was in the headquarters, saw the door being pushed open, and then saw Zhong Lin walking in with a telegram, looking at the expression on his face, Liu Jun knew, but he didn't know that something happened in that place, otherwise, Zhong Lin would not be this bitter gourd face.
